2016 Liberator - The Bishop of Norwich

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Cape Vintage from Boplaas but bottled and labelled as a BoB for Richard Kelly aka ""Rick, The Caped Crusader"" as one of the wines he markets in the UK.

Light ruby red colour, 50% opaque. A gentle nose of slightly sour bramble, but not really a distinct nose. Soft flavours on entry, delicate and with a big dose of acidity to give a palate that is light and elegant and tasty. Soft raspberries linger on the aftertaste and deliver a long, slightly bitter finish. This is a pleasant Cape Vintage wine. 89/100. Drunk 11-Oct-17.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
